The Lamborghini Huracan served as the hero car of Forza Horizon 2 in 2014 and this V10 wonder showcased just how fun the baby Lambo can do even during the European road trip. In Forza Horizon 5, there are different versions of Huracan to choose from.
Now, there are four different stages of the Lamborghini Huracan to choose from, ranging from the original LP610-4 to the hardcore STO that I've recently obtained from the High Performance series update.
Let's begin with the Huracan that started it all; the Huracan LP610-4. It is the successor of the Lamborghini Gallardo which was named after a Mayan god of wind. It was powered by a 5.2L V10 engine developing 602HP of power and when mated to a double-clutch gearbox derived from the Audi R8 as well as its 4WD system, it has a top speed of 202mph.
Next up, the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Dubbed the better version of the Huracan, the Performante's V10 engine produces 29 more horsepower and 30 more torques compared to the normal Huracan, making it capable of hitting 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds while retaining the original Huracan's top speed of 202mph. Apart from that, the Performante sheds 40kg thanks to using of carbon fiber as well as its fixed rear wing and it features ALA, which Lamborghini claims to be the most clever aerodynamic system ever made, making it more grippy in the bends. Such aerodynamics have made the Huracan Performante lap the Nurburgring five seconds quicker than the Porsche 918 Hybrid.
The Lamborghini Huracan Evo is the minor change version that produces similar power outputs as the outgoing Huracan Performante, meaning it produces 630hp of power output. Aside from that, the Evo features improved dynamics as well as new rear-wheel steering and torque vectoring system.
Lastly, the one that I've won from FH5's High Performance Wet Season Playlist for 20 points is the Lamborghini Huracan STO. Dubbed the road-legal version of the Super Trofeo and GT3 race cars, the STO's race-car-inspired aerodynamics generates 53% more downforces and 37% better aerodynamic efficiency overall. Because most of the body panels are made from carbon fiber, it weighs 20% less than the old Performante. Although it packs the same 630hp 5.2L V10 engine as the Evo, it's rear-wheel-drive and while mated to a 7-speed DCT, it goes from 0-100kph in exactly three seconds and a top speed of 193mph.
These Huracan variants are proven to be a blast to drive on the road and on the track if you're into that, but there can only be one Huracan to rule them all and with that, I've assembled them outside the stadium that was recently converted into an oval track following the recent series update. No, we're not going to the oval because that would be too short to do it. Instead, it's a proper circuit racing to determine which Huracan is the best in the game. The fastest time wins as expected.
Without further ado, let's roll the tape.
And now the results...
Huracan - 1m08.085s
Huracan Performante - 1m05.999s
Huracan Evo - 1m07.568s
Huracan STO - 1m05.249s
What a shocker, boys and girls. It looks like the ultimate purists' Huracan really is the best Huracan after all, just.
Be it a four-wheel-drive or a purist-friendly rear-wheel-drive, the Lamborghini Huracan is proven to be "the last one" in the age of the new normal. I said this because this will be known as the last car to have a V10 engine in it, which is rather a sad undertone to spell it out. Although it may not be forever, the last V10 car on earth is proven to be the final gambit that never gives in unless it uses its last resort to keep speedo boys happy until the very end.
It may soon be extinct along with its engine but...let's wish the Huracan the best of luck as it's nearing its endgame not just for this car but for the nearly-diminished V10 race.
FIGHTING!
